The car keeps stalling and several scans, thousands into repairs to include the dealership itself. I’m convinced that it’s one of the recalls re: power train and engine keeps randomly stalling. This is a huge safety concern that will result in an accident. It happens after start up, at stop lights and signs And randomly throughout driving. I don’t feel safe and I’m taking it back to the dealership to do the job right .

On December 13, 2021 my 2016 Dodge Dart shut down while driving and would not start back up. Had it towed to a repair shop, they could not duplicate the problem. I contacted Chrysler and the agent who helped me said there is no known issues with this particular vehicle. I found at that was a lie with a little google search. Picked my vehicle up and immediately took it to the Dodge dealership. They checked the oil level and it was so low that the tech said that if it would have been driven much longer it would have completely disabled the engine. No oil light, oil was changed recently, no reason for this to have happened. Found out there was a campaign to update software to the PCM module so that was completed along with an oil change. This created a COMPLETELY unsafe situation, luckily there was very little traffic on the roadway at the time. Vehicles with this issue should be recalled or the engine needs to be replaced.

Multiple occurrence: car will stall while driving, losing brakes. The lights on dash will start flashing wildly and the wind shield wipers will start going on its own when turned off. Car will not start back again for a long while. The air system will not work-no heat or air conditioner, just stopped working. Very dangerous situation, car is unsafe. I'm not sure how it has a high rating in safety.

Was driving and the engine stalled and cut off w/o warning in traffic due to low oil pressure. 2.4l engine consuming oil due to scarring of the cylinder walls from the pistons. I was told this by the mechanic at the service center. It was not that long between oil changes when this occurred.

Multiple times 4 to be exact my vehicle has shut down while driving with no warning. This seems to be an issue with many of these from my research. Once I was getting on an expressway and was almost hit another time was turning on a busy street almost being hit luckily I was not. The first time this happened I had the car about 3 months after purchasing new. The last time it happened was this september. The dealership has done nothing and says they know it happens but nothing they can do for it. Are they waiting for someone to be killed before dealing with this issue ?

I said that I have seen on the internet reports of this happening to the same type of car and why is there not a recall .
